While Olly is back in NY, living a life of pure hedonistic debauchery and espressos, I (Alasdair) have been plugging away, trying to find the best in new music and new musicians. Last night saw the LSO play at the Barbican, a fantastically “yes our building was built in the 60s and we love it” venue. It was an interesting, 20th Century composer set list, and if my tickets were not free I probably wouldn’t have risked the cash on the concert. Thank heavens for freebies then, as after 15 minutes of Charles Ives and me eyeing the nearest exit, we were introduced to, and I fell in love with, Yuja Wang…
Always determined to bring you further into the world of GetJazzical, we’ve taken the lens cap off the recording equipment one more time in our latest video. Yes, it does look like we record our episodes in a laundry room, and yes Olly does look so pale he’s kind of see through, but that’s why he took that al-expenses paid trip to New York.
Don’t worry folks, we’ll be back to doing what we do best very soon. NOT appearing in front of a camera.
